Learning/stealing from Vandelay, we could add an identifier boolean to acq.lineitem_attr_definition, and simply search all of these attrs as an exact-match from a single search box. Add ISBN, ISSN, UPC, po number (as a vendor attribute), ASN id, etc. We'd also want to search the barcode on lineitem_detail for detecting shelf-ready items.
